The Facts highlighted Brazosport Center Stages’ recent performance at the Theater Network of Texas’ TEXFest in today’s newspaper in “Center Stages earns accolades at theater fest”. Held last month in Kerrville, the competition and festival hosted four theaters from across the state.
Center Stages’ five-person cast and crew of An Iliad won several awards, including Best Actor, All-Star Cast, Backstage Award and the Audience Acclaim Award, as well as a paid advancement to the Southwest Theater Competition to be held next month.
Opening night of Brazosport Center Stages’ “A Rock’s Story” by local playwright Davis Gordon Gilbert was front page news as The Facts featured the production in today’s (2/10) paper. The world premiere of Center Stages’ season extra production will run for four days, Thursday, February 10 through Sunday, February 13.
The feature, “World premiere play on cultural phenomena opens tonight at Center: Playwright offers piece on the rock”, includes background on how Gilbert came to write the play, as well as perspective from actor Jackson Kimbrough, who plays the role of Pet Rock inventor Gary Dahl, and several photos of the cast in rehearsals.

Brazosport Center Stages’ production of “The Lion in Winter” is slated for January 21-23 and 28-30 and tickets are on sale now! Friday and Saturday shows start at 7:30 PM, while Sunday matinees are at 2:30 PM.
Set during Christmas 1183, the play tells the wickedly amusing tale of King Henry II, his imprisoned queen (released only for the holiday), and their three entitled sons who vie for the throne in a double-dealing division of the kingdom.
This viciously funny drama is a high-stakes chess game where the pieces constantly change sides and no one is spared the sword. Brace yourself for an epic family takedown!

Get your tickets now for Brazosport Center Stages’ production of “Dracula”, slated for October 22-24 and 29-31. Based on Bram Stoker’s world-famous novel “Dracula”, the classic legend of the Transylvanian vampire, the play was adapted for the stage by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston in the 1920s.
The vampire, like no other monster or demon, exists in the twilight region between life and death. Driven to nourish its peculiar existence, the vampire stalks the earth seeking sustenance in human blood.
